North Shore Seniors Forum

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore) (20:28:22):

I thank the local seniors who joined me at North Shore seniors' forum held earlier this week in Mosman. Seniors from the community had the chance to join with me and the Minister for Seniors, Mr Mark Coure as well as staff from government agencies and community organisations such as Service NSW, Trustee and Guardian, the New South Wales seniors team, the NSW Police Force, Cancer Council NSW, North Shore Historical Society, some of our local councillors, and a team from the Northern Sydney Local Health District. On the day, seniors who have contributed to our community were honoured with a North Shore Seniors Achievement Award. Leona Geeves was recognised for her active involvement and dedicated volunteer work in our community's heritage preservation, music and artistic life. I thank Davie Macdonald and his 68-year-old therapy dog, Zara—nine in dog years—for their outstanding contribution to assisting communities through recovery after the devastating bushfire and flood events. I am incredibly proud to be a part of a community that comes together for meaningful and informative events like this. I thank everyone who attended and all the representatives who gave up their time to help the older members in our community. We are very proud of our North Shore seniors.
